Both. The driver is liable for causing a crash and the company as the owner of the vehicle. Owners liability. Visit www.kliszlaw.com to discuss. Tim Klisz
Both would be liable since it appears from your questions that the injury occurred during work hours with a work vehicle and in performance of work duties. Please call us at (248) 619-0065 since we would need more specifics on how and what injuries occurred to provide more accurate advice.
